  We started Valero Energy in a Tupelo garage because the general status quo deserved a clarity-seeking reckoning. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the general call is made.

  We combine $210,000 - $416,000 with flexible remote work, paid volunteer days, and clear opportunities for advancement.

  The posting clock reset today, so the CTO window is wide open.
